Compressor won't kick in when you pressure is low, you may well have a leak but there is a good chance a regas would sort it.

I wasnt ruling out an electrical problem either.. There is a connection to test with pressure meter but they not willing to do that. just re gas.

Diesel will be my next car. There are some BMW 320Ds for half nothing on carzone...but I look like a right snob driving those. Maybe I get one next year some stage. Either that or the Audi A4s

The modern diesel can be problematic though, diesel particulate filters, dual mass flywheels and in some cars the turbo themselves all fail at alarming rates which wipe out the fuel savings made over 3 or 4 years. The troublefree diesel engines are a thing of the 90s I reckon for the most part.

Yeah, the L series is trouble free except for diesel pumps on the 45, 25 and ZR, ZS. I was thinking more of the old 5 cyl Merc diesel and the old VW ones. I reckon I'll get a diesel ZS some time soon maybe. I'm driving an old 5 series estate at the moment, must sell that in a month or so.

they CAN be but a little care and attention prevents that in most cases. some of the old diesel engines were indestructable even if never serviced but unfortunately you cant get away with that now.. BMW and peugeot make good engines (apart from turbo probs 02 - 05) all our family cars are common rail diesel and no probs so far, touch wood:D

I don't see how care and attention can prevent a DPF or a DMF failing to be honest. Also probs with common rail injection are generally a case of sh1t happens.

yeah, i think ye should hop off to the "general motor chat / beepbeep-ness" and "general tooth chat/ painfulness" threads

The receptionist where I went was very friendly, when booking the appointment I asked was the dentist an animal, I explained I was terrified of the idea of going. She was very nice and had me 90% sure it would be ok. If she was a cranky ole cow I would have rang another I reckon, rightly or wrongly.

the receptionist was obviously very nice cos if she had any cranky tendencies that would probably have set her off lol:D:pac:

very true, I was in agony at the time and am a rather straight to the point sort of chap in general, I was very polite and whatnot but just rather blunt about it.

I was passing Lennox in McCurtain street last night, they have signs up for staff wanted and delivery drivers, someone here or someone someone knows may be interested.

Comedy movies tend to struggle to be funny for the duration of them though. Sitcoms work better as you can pace the jokes out better over half an hour or stand up comedy where you can involve the audience.
